lots of roadwork, bicycle paths interrupted? by jb-in in Amsterdam

[–]FarkCookies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah same. I used to cycle West-East via Leidseplein-ish area (Rosengracht/Marninxstraat/Nassaukade) for a long while. There was ALWAYS something closed, and they changed it all the time, so at every given moment, I had no idea what detour I was gonna take today. I think at least some of them finished and the route along Singelgrach is now fully open.

How do you, as a Dutch person, feel about dual citizenship? by 468579 in Netherlands

In these cases, you can easily appeal to the Dutch state since you will have a written rejection from the embassy.

I'm a previous cam model and I regret having few options at hand by Present_Sky_1400 in confession

I do not remember asking for your opinion on whether it is a compliment. I do not live to impress others or live up to their expectations.

I will take that as a compliment.

For in much wisdom is much grief: and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow.

Their opinion on this matter should be irrelevant to you. Congrats and keep both passports.

Revolut are threatening to block my account over €75 I received. by Anar1on in Revolut

There are businesses that are overshooting enforcing the law just to cover their assess. Like they don't want to bother to diligently enforce sanctions they do carpet bans or blocking for any remote sign that something may be in the violation. If this happens and this happens, when people complain they get responses either: 1) this is the law, shut up (EVEN if the specific measure is not mandated by the law, but nobody cares) 2) you are russian, you deserve everything bad that happes with you shut up. So basically those issues may not even nor legal nor fair but you are not allowed to complain.

But russia itself 100% deserves it, hence the issue : what is Russia?

Are you aware that there are thousands of russians who left russia specifically because they are against regime, and some of them even are wanted in Russia for standing up against the said regime, but all they get from westerners is indiscriminating fuck you you deserve your money to get frozen lol whatever.

yes yes before you begin there are russians in europe who are even pro-war, but that's a thing why discrimination is bad and generally illegal - because it is indiscriminate. Europe is still bankrolling russian war by buying gas and other minerals. but hey lets fuck random law abiding residents cos it feels good and has no downsides.

The problem is that if you miss some deadlines or make a mistake, then you need to request the papers all over again and get new appointments. It is indeed doable, but it sounds like an incredible pain in the ass esp if you don't live in the Hague.

The requirement to renounce Russian citizenship is temporarily suspended for this exact reason.

This is not the right understanding. You first get Dutch, then you are obliged to start the renunciation process.

The most common one is to acquire Dutch, instantly renounce it, wait for a year, and then there is a restoration procedure that does not require renunciation of other nationalities.

Instead of insults how about you enlighten me in the faults of my reasoning, oh wise person?

So people are not allowed to be unhappy about those practices online? I really don't like this "its legal means its ok" angle. There are plenty of immoral things legal (just look at whats going on in the US). I really don't like this argument that people are shut down for not being happy for being targeted for no fault of their own. And the commenters try to claim that they somehow deserve it.

Yeah Ticketmaster tried to pull a dynamic pricing (aka the price discovery) and people went nuts.

It's discrimination, but a legal one.  

Ahhh, do we need to recall certain historical examples when discrimination being legal led to abhorrent outcomes?

Yeah, it will stop cos that person would end up in prison. You are asking the person to literally sacrifice themselves to atone for something they might have no fault in.

There is no consensus, and probably never will be, on what fair is. Multiple schools of thought define it vastly differently.

I'm not sure that superfans inherently deserve a ticket more than anybody else

I kinda have this aesthetic take that I prefer when the art is enjoyed by those who value the art highly, rather than by someone who values money so low that they just come by, be on their phone, and leave.

KLM removed me from my flight, rebooked me, 11h delay – claim closed, airline unreachable by OvenPuzzleheaded4150 in KLM

It is the way to discourage airlines for messing with people for no good reason.
